Boortz: I NEED HELP UNDERSTANDING THIS ONE (Rant on immigration reform)

[Small-L]

President Bush spoke yesterday in Los Angeles on the subject of immigration reform. For the life of me I cannot figure out what is motivating his stance on this subject.

Bush, speaking to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, insists that any immigration bill passed by the Congress be "comprehensive." Just exactly does he mean by "comprehensive." Glad you asked. He means that a bill that simply provides for tighter border security and harsher punishment for employers who hire people who are in this country illegally will not satisfy his demands. We're being invaded. Some of the invaders crossing our borders refer to themselves as "reconquistadors." If you don't hablo Espanol, let me help you. They are calling themselves "re-conquerors." Many of them ... who knows what percentage ... are not just here to find some better-paying work so they can send dinero back home ... they are here to conquer and establish political control of huge parts of the American Southwest. If their purposes were entirely benign, why would they print articles in major Mexican magazines bearing headlines like "Los Angeles is ours!"

Can anyone reading this or listening to me on the radio think of one job -- one duty owed this country by the man we made president that is more solemn, more serious, more important than to use whatever resources he may have at his disposal to turn back an invasion of our homeland? Does the president's duty to protect and defend our borders only come into play if the invasion force is carrying guns?

This particular invasion force doesn't need guns. They're going to have a more potent weapon, the ballot. What does this "fast-track" to citizenship that Bush is so insistent upon really mean? That means a fast track to putting ballots in the hands of those we now call illegal aliens. This is the ultimate goal of President Bush, Ted Kennedy, John McCain and others. In fact, movements are already underway in many states and municipalities to grant full voting rights to non-citizens, and in some cases illegal aliens!

Think of the strength behind a ballot! Americans have been using ballots for hundreds of years to change leadership, to punish political wrongdoing, and to reward political courage. Americans now gleefully use this weapon to gain access to the property of others, and this they do without a moment's thought given to their legal form of plunder. A ballot can be used to change our very way of life in this country. A ballot can be used to gain access to the pockets of every single working American. A ballot can be used to open the floodgates even further to an broader invasion force. A ballot can be used to destroy our rights to property and to diminish our standing as free and independent individuals. What happens when this weapon is placed in the hands of tens of millions of people who had no respect whatsoever for the laws of this country, millions of people who broke the law coming here and broke the law by staying! What happens when this weapon is placed in the hands of people who show no desire whatsoever to assimilate into American culture; people who show disdain for our language and our customs; people who wave flags of their homeland instead of the banner of the United States as they demonstrate for their undeserved amnesty.

President Bush says that the " vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people." Sorry, Mr. President. They're criminals. Criminals are not generally regarded as decent people, except perhaps by politicians. The decent people you speak of are the ones still in Mexico, still in Guatemala, still in Honduras and Colombia. The decent people are the ones who visit the American embassy or consulate to begin the arduous task of applying for permission .... legal permission to enter the United States. The decent people, Mr. President, wait patiently day after day for that magical notice to arrive from U.S. officials telling them that the American people await their arrival as legal, law abiding new neighbors.

Never in my 37 years of talk radio have I seen a time when the politicians inside the beltway have been so completely and thoroughly out of touch with the American people. Eight out of ten Americans want the border between the U.S. and Mexico sealed. These Americans have somehow developed the attitude that the people they send to Washington to make decisions related to our national security have some sort of a duty to recognize an invasion when it is happening, and to take steps to stop it. They don't want Bush's "comprehensive" approach. They want a direct, focused approach. Criminals are pouring across our borders, and they want it stopped. Now. These Americans do not want amnesty for those who have wantonly and brazenly ignored our laws.

The House Republican leadership is talking a tough game right now. No amnesty. No guest worker program. But ... right now that's all it is. Talk. If Speaker Hastert and Majority Leader Boehner want to insure that Nancy Pelosi will occupy the Speaker's office come next January all they have to do is cave in to Bush and the Senate with a comprehensive plan embracing anything that looks, smells or tastes like amnesty. I think I have some sort of a sense of what people are fired up about, and believe me, this issue has people burning mad.

[OldFriend]

Why not ask your family members who are serving if they appreciate the constant assault on their commander in chief.

Ask them if they would mind having a demonrat in charge of funding the war on terror.

Ask them if they would mind a demonrat president as their commander in chief.

[panthermom]

George Bush is done, he's serving his 2nd term now. He can't stay president. And again, WHOSE FAULT IS IT THAT PEOPLE ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE REPUBLICANS/RINOS????? Could it be their policies don't reflect their constituents???? Could it be their lack of spine when dealing with democrats???? What are ya gonna do when 30 million illegals can legally vote? Yeah, I'm sure the very next thing they're gonna do after getting their right to vote is to join the GOP. Gee, I hate it that your pitchin fits over my opinion being that I'm so pathetic and all.

Unless, of course, if the impact you want is a "new America".

THE "NEW AMERICAN"

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.

President Bush says that the " vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people." Sorry, Mr. President. They're criminals.

Almost 1 million sex crimes by illegal immigrants in U.S.

[Marine Inspector]

Ask them if they would mind a demonrat president as their commander in chief.

Having served under both Republicans and Democrats, I can say there was not much difference between the two.

[MissAmericanPie]

I think they are too afraid to get it. Because it calls for more action than making a phone call or voting. It calls for assessing how much you are willing to give up to stay comfortable. How serious the threat is.

And if one does consider it a large threat, it calls for leaving your comfort zone and hitting the streets and demonstrating. In a nation where most are not paying serious attention, it's a big risk. Perhaps too big a risk.

After all you are not a protected class, your not illegals who can safely gather and demonstrate peacefully. If you try it, it might mean water cannons, rubber bullets, a club upside the head, or getting chewed on by a really mean dog. After all, and example may have to be made of those that would stand in the way of the big picture. One just doesn't know. It's a risk.

[GSWarrior]

Bash him if you want

Bash him? I want to vote for him!

[RogueIsland]

Gawd, it's all about the ECONOMY? Forget the impact of illegals on TAXPAYERS and WORKERS and HOSPITALS and COMMUNITIES? Old people and kids are DRAGS ON THE ECONOMY? Stunning the level of economic depravity your side has sunk to here.

Indeed. Well, I hope they enjoy that booming economy built on exploitation until the exploited, fed up with it and empowered by amnesty-derived voting rights, decide a Marxist in the White House is more to their liking.

[OldFriend]

Carter and Clinton, no difference than Reagan and Bush?

[Marine Inspector]

I enlisted under Reagan and left under Clinton and there was very little difference.

[OldFriend]

My son served four years during X42. Somehow your suggestion that there was no difference between Reagan and Clinton leaves me in disbelief.

[ClaireSolt]

Just, and "if the shoe fits," comment. Who put you in charge of reading assignments?

[OpusatFR]

I find invincible ignorance every day of the week.

It's a battle, but someone has to do it.

[Marine Inspector]

My son served four years during X42.

So did I and in the Corps, the difference was negligible.

[Kenny Bunk]

Vast amounts of people I poll with similiar conservative leanings shake their heads in disbelief, too.

Ask yourself, "Why is this coming up now? It's been going on for over 30 years."

The reason this is "coming up now," is that now, it is safe to discuss, because it is over. The deal has been done. The foundation for the blending of North American countries is already laid, and the first storey is already half-built.

Within a century, Hispanics, i.e., Ibero-Amerindians, will become a major component of our population's genetic make-up. E.G., Hispanics already outnumber African- Americans by a huge margin. With the deal done, the only real question is, "are we going to be (or look like) another Chile or Argentina, or another Bolivia or Guatemala?" Only time and the intermarriage rates will answer that question.

Debate this all you wish, my friends, and by all means, let's get control of those borders. But within a century and a half, the population of this country will in all probability, be only a bit different from the population of the rest of this hemisphere to the south.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Sounds like what Pat Buchanan wrote (or rather predicted) three years ago or so in a book.

[Once-Ler]

Everyone knows that ""Illegal Immigration is the root of all evil".

Ain't that the truth? Those damn illegals steal all the good paying jobs and collect welfare checks. They spread disease while draining the American health care system dry. They commit murder and rape and fill up the prisons even though our corrupt government looks the other way. They are destroying our American culture even though they refuse to assimilate and take part in the communities in which they live. We spend billions educating their children and they still can't speak English...I need a freakin' score card to keep up with all the contradictory reasons I should hate them.

What the conservatives need today is a man like Tancredo who can distill this raw hate into our own American Reichskristallnacht.

[Les_Miserables]

Well Said!

[Les_Miserables]

Not if I takem out first but the true problem is the 30-ish inexperienced lemming crowd and ususally lemmings take care of themselves.

[meyer]

Boortz is right on the money.

It's all about survival of the US, and these invading leeches are nothing but non-English-speaking liberal deadbeats, sucking off the taxpayer-funded benefits like their democRAT brethren.

Saving 10 cents on a head of lettuce isn't a worthy gain in exchange for the billions of wasted local, state, and federal tax dollars that go to support the illegals. Instead of importing other nation's deadwood, we should be finding a way to export ours.
